The Late Americans Summary

The Late Americans: From the Booker Prize-shortlisted author of Real Life by Brandon Taylor

Funny, merciless, brilliant . . . I loved it CURTIS SITTENFELD


Seamus, Fyodor, Ivan, Noah and Fatima are running out of time to decide on their futures, in the new novel from the Booker-shortlisted author of Real Life.

In a university town, a circle of lovers and friends navigate tangled webs of connection while they try to work out what they want, and who they are.

As they test their own desires in a series of relationships, these young men and women ask themselves and each other: what is the right thing to stake a life on? Work, love, money, dance, poetry? And what does true connection look like, in an age of precarity?

A constellation of characters shines in [this] campus-set tale of aspiring artists Financial Times

Intimate, hilarious, poignant . . . A gorgeously written novel of youths promise Oprah Daily

Elegant and razor-sharp EMMA CLINE

* A Daily Telegraph and FT Book of the Year *

The Late Americans Reviews

Assures and deepens Taylor's position as one of the most accomplished, important novelists of his generation. He is undoubtedly on to something expansively new in his sense of what the contemporary novel can do * Guardian *
I loved The Late Americans and its funny, merciless, brilliant portrayal of the beauty and pointlessness of art, and the absurdity and horror - and occasional transcendence - of being a person. Magnificent -- Curtis Sittenfeld, author of Romantic Comedy
Brandon Taylor's third book is the most dazzling example of his sharp pen and keen observations of human nature... Taylor develops his characters so precisely, they feel like close friends: recognisable, sometimes infuriating, and always worth following to the book's last page * Harper's Bazaar *
Taylor is a sharp chronicler of the body. In The Late Americans, the body is an instrument and an archive, vulnerable to the complicated violence of pleasure and work -- Raven Leilani, author of Luster
Taylor's most accomplished book, a panorama of youth in the era of late capitalism * Guardian *
